2 taken to area hospitals from Oklahoma County sheriff's gun range with injuries

Incident happened during training exercise

Authorities are investigating a possible accidental shooting at the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office gun range.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reports two of their own were shot. OHP says the accident happened during a training exercise. It’s suspected a handgun malfunctioned.

OHP cadets were on the gun range at the time of the shooting taking part in the Highway Patrol Academy.

The report came in around 3:45 p.m.

A trooper (who is a firearms instructor) and a cadet (a trooper in training) were both hit. One was hit in the hand, the other hit in the leg. Both were taken to OU Medical Center and are expected to be OK.

It’s believed a single shot went through both the cadet and trooper. Investigators do not yet know if the gun in question belonged to the cadet or trooper's gun.
